Paul Stamatiou’s 32,000+ word guide to building a PC specifically for Lightroom performance is something to behold. There are entire blog posts and guides in here, all mashed together to form one piece which will take you an entire evening — and a few glasses of wine — to read.
I have two simple questions for Paul:
Is this $6,000+ PC worth the time and effort to build, when only a few minutes are saved in the end?
Now that the iMac Pro has been released (and at a cheaper price than his custom rig), is it smarter to buy the latest all-in-one from Apple?
The iMac Pro is a lot better looking, if you ask me.

Chris Bowler took on the daunted task of choosing the best GTD app suite for Mac, iPhone, and iPad, and Things 3 came away the winner:
The launch of Things 3 in 2017 was a complete rebuild, and it is one of the most pleasing and satisfying pieces of software I’ve ever used. While not as customizable as some of the other options, Things is just so well-designed and hits enough of our criteria that it comes out as our top choice.

The GTD arena is a pretty opinionated one. There are some die-hard OmniFocus users out there. No matter which app you decide to use — Things or OmniFocus — the reality is you can’t go wrong. OmniFocus seems to be designed with some power users in mind, while Things feels like the best choice for most people. Where you fall in this wide-ranging spectrum is up for you to decide.
Along with the review comes the announcement of a new course we’ve been working on at The Sweet Setup. All The Things is a deep-dive into Things 3, making sure you know the ins and outs of the best GTD app available. Best of all, there will be a bunch of focus on GTD and productivity in general, ensuring OmniFocus and Todoist users will be equally covered.
If you’re curious about the upcoming course, you can check out the All The Things page and sign up to be notified when it’s ready for launch.
Like the Danish word hygge, there’s no simple, direct translation into English for the Japanese word ikigai. It roughly means the “thing that you live for” or “the reason for which you get up in the morning.” In a nutshell, it encompasses the idea that happiness in life is about more than money or a fancy job title.
It’s easiest to think about ikiagi [sic] as an intersection, the common ground between:
What you love
What you care about
What the world needs
What you can get paid for
It’d be very difficult to pinpoint exactly where you fall in the chart above, but it’s a fun exercise to go through.
I wonder if it’s cheating if you have multiple occupations and use the average of your placements to get closer to “ikigai”? Yeah, that’s gotta be cheating.
